still got it.
I thought maybe I had lost the touch, that I'd forgotten how to make things, or, worse, how to take pleasure in making them. I was wrong. Luckily. 'Lucky' seems to be the word of my life these days. I do feel really, really lucky.
This is a travel wallet like mine for my dear friend Anne, who has left France for a month to work in Spain. It is her first time living away from home and away from her boyfriend, so she was feeling apprehensive. How well I understand that apprehension! So I made her this, because pretty things always make it easier for me to be away from home.
So much to say. So much to do. I went to Strasbourg this weekend, to a marché de noël (Christmas Market) that has been there since the 12th century! I found the most wonderful things. Can't wait to show you.
And--I'm opening my shop up again! Just for a little bit, and beginning on 12/2, so orders will ship in time for Christmas. Hoping to have two or three travel wallets in there. See you soon.
xo.

Lovely wallet. I love a good marché de noël. We were in France just before Christmas two years ago and those markets were one of my favorite things.
Lovely detail on the wallet - very pretty!
What a great adaventure you are having! I am enjoying all your discoveries vicariously--Any european market would seem magical, probably even one selling hardware, everything is so fresh and new.

I just LOVE the photo of those figurines. I clicked on it and had a closer look. So weird, like seeing double or triple and some of them are looking right at the camera! Fun stuff ...
And ... you call that a wallet? Amazing and functional! (I wonder how many of those litte figurines could live in there!?)
